All outfits look great.
Thank you!
Love the chinos and smarter shoes with the light blue and green jackets. Definitely a more elevated look. Thanks John
Glad you like them!
That blue jacket and white shirt and your gray hair . Spot on my man !
Thank you!
Anytime !
I’m a big fan of the sports jacket as I like to mix-n-match. My favourites are plaid designs
John, your Omega adds to the casual look, and to a more formal look. Good choice!
Thank you very much!
Always informative and thoughtful, with excellent views and ideas. Thank you from the UK.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Well presented amigo, you gave me new ideas for the rest of the season.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
The first time I ever saw a polo shirt with a sports jacket was George Burns on the Burns and Allen show. I was initially surprised but I saw how well it worked and have tried it a view times. If you ever get a chance check out some of the things he wore. The man was a style icon. Everything he wore was classic. They say style is timeless. He epitomized that.
Thank you!
Really great progression in the presentation. Appreciate your videos!
Thank you!
Excellent John! I really love the looks you presented. Thank you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I will admit, despite hating sneakers with sports jackets with a passion, you manage to make it look good.
Ha! Thank you!
You give me so much ideas John. Keep them coming please! Thanks.
Thanks, will do!
Like the last looks the best with nicer shoes..
Liked how you stepped up each look. I have acquired similar jackets, shirts and jeans over the years and I now have new ideas on how to match them. Another hit John!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video, John.... but Ashley would say tuck in your laces.... ha ha... That is an awesome sports jacket. And the color looks great on you. I think my fave look is that sports jacket with the white sneakers, dark jeans and light blue shirt. Fantastic look, buddy. Thank you for all your wardrobe ideas. So extremely helpful. I have a black and white button down collar and co.. maybe time to get another one.
Thank you Will!
The combo at 2:21 looks great for a casual vibe.
Thank you!
The thumb nail is straight fire ❤
Thank you!
I personally like the solid light blue jacket. The plaid one bothered my eyes. But then again, I've always preferred solid colors. Good video John!
Legend, Hop
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
Legend! I love the sports coat!!
Thank you!
Love a man in a sports jacket…Most women do! Proper fit very important. You look great!
Thank you!
It's a great way to be sneaky dressed by pulling the look back with casual shirts, pants and shoes .. you will look great, but no one will say you are overdressed ... most combos work. I also like to wear my sleeves slightly shorter than you do ..

I like the looks! The trick is to wear a sportcoat not suit jacket which is why the patch pockets make a difference 👌🏻
Absolutely!
Nice smart video, John. I think all your except for the last group were great casual outfits and I agree that the last ones were another notch up. Not too dressy but definitely showed a bit more effort.
Living in the Northeast, I love love throwing on a sports jacket over casual dress on a cool night. Jacket on a bit classier but for example if out to dinner, jacket off and definitely more casual.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've always been impressed by how well put togther Italian and Spanish men look when they're out and about. Can you offer some advice on how this is done. BTW. I just turned 70.
Thank you John
You’re welcome!
Love both looks 👍🏻 Not a fan of distressed, or holes in jeans. Chinos are my go to.😊
Yes! Thank you!
I am a t-shirt guy so that first option you are showing are really up my sleeve.
Thank you so much
You’re welcome!
I like the solid blue (could be navy) with the gray chinos. I have a pair of Bonobos that would look terrific with it
your nailing it
Thank you very much!
Used the code. Thanks! While I was on the site I noticed that Collars & Co have a pique polo. I'm going to pick one up.. the collar looks sturdy enough to wear with a jacket, and the placket looks more typical than the polos I usually buy from them.
Yes! They have a bunch of new items that I haven’t got my hands on yet. I think I even saw a zip polo.
Great fashion ideas.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Dig the lighter blue jacket. Still can't do sneakers with it though.
I NEEDED this video!!
Hi, thanks for your videos! 👍🏼What about the belt when wearing a sports jacket with jeans and white sneakers?
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thanks! Yes the light blue one from the intro ! Daniel George, is that something custom? LOVE the color
I've just started looking at your videos and am getting my eyes opened. I live in a 55+ resort and everyone is wearing whatever and very casual. My question is relative to my spring European vacation that will last for a couple months. My wife and I are in our 70s and we will be staying in the best places. Do you have any videos for a fit guy over 70 or can I just go with the over 40 look? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Dan
Thanks Dan! Yeah, pretty much everything I talk about applies to men in their 70s as well. Feel free to adjust fit based on body type and comfort levels. Have a fantastic trip!
I shop a lot at thrift stores (Don't shoot me; I've picked up some high end pieces for dirt cheap).
However i still struggle to differentiate sports jackets from suit jackets that were donated with missing pants. Yes, I've watched several UA-cam videos that detail the differences, but it's still hard to tell at times.
I really like the Collars and Co shirts but haven't had a chance to try them under a sports coat. I mainly wear them under sweaters and they work great for that. I did really like the looks you showed and hope to try them out soon if I can find the right occasion!
Are they cotton, or ?
Looking great
Thank you, Cheers!
That jacket cut and fit 5🌟
Thank you!
Great video idea and video John! Great variety of looks! Collars and Co was a game changer for me! Looks great under a blazer and I stay much cooler with the polo - possible video idea what type blazer/sport jackets to wear in different seasons - fabric, color etc. Question for you, if you find suit jacket that may look good with jeans and chinos - say at Express. Would you consider buying it? Also, where do recommend buying blazer/sports jacket? Any options you like outside of suit supply? Thanks John!
Honestly, I would not pair suit jacket with anything other than a full suit. Check out Daniel George & Gagliardi for super cool jackets. You can also check out your local department stores or Nordstrom Rack for a lower tier up front cost.
@@40OverFashion Thank you John! I’ll check those out! Cheers!
Hows about a sports jacket with slim fit bermuda shorts paired with a t shirt or shirt for an even more casual look and those white trainers. I have done this look to a trendy event here on the coast. Great video as always my friend.
Hey John
I tried Top hat and tails with a cane paired with my Levi’s.
We’ll I thought it looked great!
Ha!
Great John 👍🏻..how about brown jacket? Thanks. God bless always ❤
Not tryna’ blow sunshine up…I won’t finish that thought. But I’m liking all the looks featured actually! Keep it up, Sir!
I appreciate that! :)
I’m not crazy about the light blue blazer but I do like the darker one.
Fair enough!
Hey there! Where did you get your amazing blue sports coat? Which one is that??
I wore three different blue sports coats. The light blue one is from Daniel George. The textured blue one is from Suitsupply. The check pattern is from Galiardi.
Hey John, I’m definitely against running shoes and sports jackets but, it’s bette than wearing a hoodie with it so, for all you grown up hoodie guys, go for it
I like all of the jacket options, but think the “highest end” combination should include a long sleeved sport shirt with a bit of the cuff showing. Thx.
Short sleeve shirts beat polos any day. Even a T-shirt with a quarter placket is much more appealing.
A sports jacket/ pocket square combo separates the men from the boys. #legend.
Thanks Eric!
Agreed!
Everything in this set looks great John... so applicable for everyday use and keeping things just that little bit sharp 😎
Very true! Thanks for commenting!
Much prefer the light blue jacket. 😉👍🏻. The plaid? Not so much 🫤
Fair enough! Thanks for watching!
They all look good. I have a question. Are Sports Jackets with elbow patches still in style or at least can be worn without looking stupid? Should I trash it? Bought it awhile ago before COVID. It is more of a winter Sports Jacket based on the material. Thanks!!
Yes, still relevant, but it’s never been a favorite style of mine.
@@40OverFashion Thanks!! Live in NY. It was basically thrown in when I bought my suit. Problem is I am 63 & lost weight. Need to get suit tailored & was wondering if it would be worth it to do the Jacket as well. What I have learned from your channel is everyone has their own style! One thing with Collars & Co I can't find them in stores. Since I lost weight, I need to try on clothes. Sometimes I am an extra small. Can't find them in stores. Now joined gym with a trainer in July for a Birthday present.
Elbow patch jackets are classic! It would probably go well with a tweed cap!
John, where can I find that sport coat?
I guess you missed the last part of the video where I mentioned where all the jackets were from. :)
Suit Supply & Daniel George
Thanks again for another great video. BTW I'd like you to have a chat with Collars & Co. A week or so ago I checked their reviews and many recent ones are reporting reduced collar and general fabric quality. I think they found a cheaper Chinese manufacturer and their quality is suffering
Do you use double stick tape to close the gap between the unbuttoned second and third buttons on your shirts?
No. The plackets are firm and stay straight.
Hey sir, i know your fashion is Fashion over 40. Can these style outfits or tips still apply to young guys tryng to mimmick the styles.
Absolutely!
What brand of chinos?
Hey John, big fan here. Quick question: should we always have a pocket square with a sports jacket? 🤔 🙏.
Generally speaking, yes.
Where did you get the light blue slorts jacket?
Sports jacket
Daniel George.
Could one wear black leather pants with a sports jacket?
I always wonder how often I’m supposed to clean my sport jackets
Video or comment on Men’s Warehouse and other store more mainstream if you will.
Like the light blue, plaid looks a little busy and takes away the even flow away.
I like that collar, but also like showing the long sleeves... 🤔
But Alpha M said no more pointed toe suede chelsea boots!
Pretty sure he was talking about something else.
Really? It looked like he was wearing the cavalier from Thursday. I'm hoping you're right.. I love my cavaliers
White sneakers make a sports jacket look like crap. Sneakers are for sports or super casual outfits. If you want to dress up a bit the first things you need to do are put on long pants and ditch the sneakers. Otherwise it is just juvenile.
Nice first jacket - but it doesn't mesh with the I'm-just-going-under-the-car look.
I thought you belt should be the same color as your shoes??
Generally, speaking, yes, but it also depends.
l think that leather or suede shoes with jeans and a sports jacket are much sharper, just gives that subtle idea that you are aware of casual dress, but yet reach for the formal. People will know you are a type that has more stuff in his closet to dress very formally if he so desires. White running shoes are STRICTLY for work out clothes or mowing the lawn -- never as a fashion statement.
I agree totaly.
He’s not wearing white running shoes he’s wearing sneakers.
I agree sneakers should not be worn with a suit but I think they can be worn with other outfits if they are similar to the other parts of the outfit on the casual/formal scale. I think his white sneakers match the light jeans and white t-shirt. The jacket is on the more casual side of jackets because of the color/fabrics.
Personally, I don’t like such light colored jeans and would wear darker ones, and then maybe some navy sneakers with an off-white sole. I don’t own any white sneakers yet but have been thinking about it. Not some Nikes or similar brand, but maybe something from Crown Northampton.
Thanks, John for the outfit ideas and showing us other options we might not have considered!
for me, don't like the snickers / sport coat combo....much better with loafers or oxfords, in my opinion
Just in time I was running out of ideas.
I could never wear a short sleeve shirt /polo with a suit or sports jacket, just doesn't feel right, but that's just me.
God bless the gentlemen that wear a t shirt and jeans and sneakers with a sports coat but you will NEVER EVER catch me trying to pull this off only pulling it off of myself. As Yoda said Do or Do Not there is no Try and that's what it looks like to me when gentlemen attempt this. RESPECTFULLY
I used to think the same until I realised how so few people know or understand the sartorial rules of men’s style. The only rule people seem to know where I live is to match the belt and shoes and I came across one women at work who knew not to match a tie and pocket square.
Since then I have deliberately started breaking some of the rules as I see fit including wearing a white t-shirt and plain white leather sneakers with a sports jacket and still get tons of compliments. When everyone is super casual with wearing hoodies or their athleisure a sports jacket with a t-shirt is miles ahead of them
@@Alex55455 again, I said for myself.
@Alex55455 good for you, my opinion still stands, and yours has been noted. Good day.
Brown shoes! Seriously.
Your jackets look too short
You remind me of Donald Trump jr
can brown skin men wear white shirt? I don't like to use white shirt because I'm brown skin.
Great Jacket, but with white sneakers - NO.
A nice-looking $ pair of Western boots works where I am from.
